everyone should be able to shoot everything.

[bartholomew bladeroberts]

i'm just say that theres shotting humans in disney's potc3 game no blood just damage still not sure where or how it will work just saying that they've done it before

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Aye, but that game is rated T isn't it.

I think that the POTCO team wants to keep the game rated E10.

There not that low my friend, approximately 2.5 million according to the US Census Bureau. Thats just in the U.S.A too...

I think we should ban guns here in america, if they did, people wouldn't need to worry about protecting them selves. And the murder rate would drop!

That wont fix any problem we have in America. There will still be terrorism, killings, stabbings, ect. If someone came up to you with a knife, you have to protect yourself thats why we have guns.

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Uhh, lets stay away from that territory... some may consider it controversial, and its off topic from the original post.

[SEAKING23]

Good point, but if someone came up to you with a knife, just get a kitchen kinfe. what i'm saying is if we ban guns, we wont have to worry about murder as much.

I'm gonna point you to a little thing called The Constitution, more specifically, the Second Amendment.

A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

And Jello is right as well. It won't fix problems.

But back on to the original topic, it's all about what Disney wants the rating to be. Yes, kids will play games far above their rating. However, if Disney wants to draw more in, they can't have it too high, and therefore cannot let in shooting of real people.

Armada was "enough Disney" for it to be cancelled. I agree that "Company morals are situational" but Disney is pretty aggressive about protecting their properties and their image.

Cancelled, eh? I didn't know that. :P

I just saw coverage of it at E3 and said, "Hey, I wanna buy that!" Then I saw the Black Ops and NFS: Hot Pursuit trailers and it slipped my mind, so I haven't been following it.

Shame, I wish they would have at least let another company make it without the "Pirates of the Caribbean" title and tones. It looked like a rewarding RPG to me.

[Ofury/ Tom]

I don't see why they can't put it in game anyone that plays this game has most likely seen the movies... not saying everyone has cause ik a few that don't... but still wasn't Barbossa shot by Jack?

Have to agree with you. Armada looked like it could have been a lot of fun. I was looking forward to it...

Still don't think it's necessary to shoot people in POTCO though. Don't really need to when we can poison them, slash them, blow them up, drown them, chop them to bits, use black magic or whatever else there is...

Honestly, I think there are two reasons behind us not being able to shoot them.

First off, if they allowed us to shoot the Navy, I'm fairly certain the game's rating would be kicked up to T, maybe M.

Secondly, how many shots can a human being take from a gun, assuming it hits them straight in the chest? No more than 2, I'm sure.

well, Davy, if we thrust at a Navy Mercenary, wouldnt he be dead? if we hit an EITC Thug two times with a dagger, would he die? and, we are already allowed to shoot Tormentians, dont they have a somewhat human-like appearance? and, other pirates in PvP? the game is E-10+, i think 10 yr olds can handle this.

I've seen a lot of good points. I don't think we should be able to shoot people. There are many reasons why.

1. We simply don't need to.Between slashing, stabbing, blowing up, burning, drowning, and everything else we have enough ways to kill them already.

2. Most people won't be influenced by stuff they see in a game, but Disney does have a public image to keep up.

3. If we could shoot them, fighting would be easy. I could blow Remington the Vicious and Neban the Silent to pieces. But that wouldn't be as much fun.

[Swash]

I say shooting should be allowed because mainly everyone who plays this game has seen the movies. The POTC movies all have violence and cursing in them and shooting of humans. Therefore everyone who plays this game has been exposed to the violence of shooting, likes it, and would not be affected if slightly more violence was added.
